Bug

Detailed Description

There are two email addresses that have stopped working:

alovelace at ussocialforum.com
and
info@ussocialforum.org

Does anyone know what happened to those addresses or to mailservice for ussocialforum.org? It sounds like they were widely advertised. They were both forwarding to Alice until recently.

[16:57] kevin (from madison) is the owner of the domain and the dream
host account that is set up to handle these emails.
[16:58] he's in argentina (checking email) and said he doesn't have
the codes to access the dream host account with him.
[16:58] And, on dkg's suggestion, I tried to email the email addresses
in question and did not get rejected or a bounce.
[16:58] we control the dns - so we *can* repoint to our servers and
setup accounts for the two addresses we *know* about (info@ and
alovelace@) - however, if it's actually working and there are other
addresses we don't know about, they will break.
[16:59] Any proposals on handling this?
[16:59] yes:
[16:59] I think I shoult take this one too. I should email Alice
asking her for more information about the accounts not working and ask
if she knows of any other acconts in use.
[17:00] I think this is a technical issue that doesn't need a lot of
discussion.

AT the 1/21/2007 silc meeting decision to move the domain to MFPL and away from Dreamhost at the risk of breaking other email addresses.

Now both info@ and alovelace@ should be forwarding mail to alice's mindspring account.
